Example CE grant calculation for attending the Summer Library Program

In this example, the librarian is bringing the person who helps with the Summer Library Program.

Travel time from Library Town to Salina according to Mapquest = 1.5 hours Workshop time is from 9 am to 3 pm = 6 hours Travel time from Salina to Library Town according to Mapquest = 1.5 hours Total travel and workshop time = 9 hours (We do not care whether the mileage estimates come from a Web site or your odometer.)

The day of the workshop library is open from 1 to 5 = 4 hours Library pays:

Librarian's salary for the four hours the library is open even though the librarian is at the workshop.

The CE grant pays:

Librarian's salary for 5 hours when the library is not open (9 hours - 4 hours the library was open = 5 hours)

If the other person attending the workshop is not a volunteer, then that person gets paid for 9 hours.

If the person running the library from 1-5 pm is also not a volunteer, then the grant pays the salary of that person for those 4 hours.

Round trip mileage for one car between Your Town and Salina (195 miles) at IRS rate ($.51) = $99.45

Continuing Education Mission

Our mission is to train librarians and trustees to provide the best possible library service to their communities.

The objectives of the Continuing Education Department are:

To increase the skills and knowledge of librarians and trustees.

To acquaint librarians and trustees with library trends and developments.

To develop learning activities and experiences for member librarians and trustees.

To include opportunities to coordinate activities with other Systems and other agencies.

To provide technology training for local librarians as time and staff schedules permit.

CKLS has a dual commitment to continuing education. It provides learning opportunities for System staff members and trustees, and it offers training sessions for the staff and trustees of member libraries.

Librarians and trustees from member libraries are encouraged to have a written policy supporting local, regional System, and state continuing education programs.
